If you see a giant orange running around Mississippi State’s campus this week, don’t be alarmed. It’s just Obie, the Capital One Orange Bowl mascot.
On Sunday, the Bulldogs were selected to play in the New Year’s Six bowl, where they will face Georgia Tech Dec. 31. To help promote the game, Obie made the trip up from Miami to Starkville to hang out with students and fans.
We're excited to have Obie and members of the @OrangeBowl committee on campus today! #CapitalOneOrangeBowl #HailState pic.twitter.com/MReT1fuNOE
